Thank you very much mona. This plant had more buds than anything else in my garden.
However, I don't know how that compares with others. Or, what constitutes
what is referred to as a bud builder. Bud building and disease resistance is in
the list of goals to aim for, as no doubt a goal of most.
Just looked at my cross list and I did cross it this year with some newer plants, but it will be
one or more years before I see what genes will be in play. There are over 2000 seedlings
in this house this winter, the most I have done, and I forget what I have.
